As many of you have noticed we have been absent from the blog world of late. The following pictures say it all. We have been sick!
The pharmacy had made a killing off of us in the last few weeks. I am convinced we could start our own pharmacy!
The "bug" started with Madelynne. She had a fever of 104 degrees, a runny nose and a cough that sounded more like a bark. Jackson caught the "bug" from her and it settled in while we were out of town. By the time we came home he was wheezing really bad. I gave him an albuterol nebulizer treatment and it didn't even touch the wheezing. We took him into the doctor and he had another nebulizer treatment with the same results. They tried a different medicine and that finally worked. As it turned out both Madelynne and Jackson had ear infections in their right ears. We ended up having to take Jackson to the pediatric emergency room to get him stabilized (we were glad he didn't have to be admitted)and were so happy we got to bring him home. By the time we got things stabilized with Jackson I had caught the gunk and ended up with double ear infections, a sinus infection, and bronchitis. And to round out the experience Matt got the "bug" too. Luckily, he had the mildest case of us all, but he was still really sick. A week after we had all returned to health, Madelynne fell out of the shopping cart and got a concussion. So, she too got to have a trip to the emergency room! After a CAT scan that came back clear and a dose of Zofran to stop the vomitting she was able to come home. We are glad she is OK! The end to this sickness saga is that we are all healthy now and glad to be returning to the world of blogging!

Jackson hated having the nebulizer treatments because he had to wear this mask. Doesn't he look pathetic?
